Gen.15:5msg “Then he took him outside and said, "Look at the sky. Count the stars. Can you do it? Count your descendants! You're going to have a big family, Abram!"”
This is one of those amazing and true-to-life piece of history from the Bible, which affects us all; challenging and inspiring one to taking God at His word because He means what He says and will do it to the letter.
Our opening text is Father God’s response to Abraham’s question about him and Sarah’s childlessness even after several decades in marriage. As usual, the description and duration of your challenge is nothing to God, in fact the ‘bigger and older’ the more ridiculous the response from God.
You may begin to wonder and ask what the connection is between counting the stars and the number of descendants a man will have. However, the Father’s intent was to get him from the point of mental assent to heart believing.
That is, from the point of just mouthing the promise, to the point of rejoicing every time he looked up.
For at that point, you not only talk of things to come—you call it into being in the here and now. You live your dreams. Glory!
Check: John 5:1-9, Rom.4:13-22, Deut.1:10
